Incognito is a British band, widely regarded as one of the key members of the acid jazz movement. Their debut album, Jazz Funk, was released in 1981, with eleven more albums following, the last of which, Bees + Things + Flowers, was released in 2006.

Throughout the band's history, it has been led and driven by composer, record producer, guitarist and singer, Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick. Other notable band members have included the singers Tony Momrelle, Jocelyn Brown, Carleen Anderson, Imaani, and Maysa Leak.

The band has had intermittent success in the UK Singles Chart, with their breakthrough hit a cover version of the Ronnie Laws' tune, "Always There", featuring Jocelyn Brown. They have also been a favourite of various re-mixers, including Masters At Work, David Morales, Roger Sanchez and Jazzanova, and have released three albums consisting almost entirely of remixes.
